Walking a labyrinth can aid the self or consciousness. The practice can be used as a tool to “unwind the mind,” and to let go stress or worries and concerns.

Walking the labyrinth can release patterned behavior, thoughts, and feelings of various sorts. It can “untorque” or unwind you. As you release old patterned energy, the alignment of your body may shift or straighten into a greater spiritual alignment.

Some walk a labyrinth as a kind of moving meditation.
